That's both part of it and not part of it.

They do look a bit plastic and a bit like jelly. It's kind of cool to have shoes that are a bit see-through, or that aren't made of conventional materials like normal canvas or leather.

And yes, they do look a bit like Barbie shoes, and Barbie was a style icon. They're fun, they're not meant to be high end hand crafted heritage leather shoes to begin with, just fun shoes.

At the same time, for "plastic shoes", I really haven't found any other brand that is Melissa's equivalent. Other el cheapo jelly/plastic shoes tend to have shiny plastic and have ridges in weird places where the molds come together. Melissa is the one brand that consistently does GOOD plastic shoes.

I guess if you aren't into the plastic/jelly shoes look then it all looks the same to you, just take our word for it, the quality is definitely there.
